===Peru is a beautiful country located in South America. It has an area of 1,285,216 sq km. Its borders are with Ecuador, Colombia, Brasil, Bolivia, Chile and the Pacific Ocean. ===

Peru has a population of 29,549,517. Most people living in Peru are not having good living conditions, which gives us the proof that poor people mostly have more children. Among the population there are 30.9% people who are under the age of fourteen years.
 * Population **

Its birth rate is 19.13 births per 1000 in population. Peru has an average birth rate; this means their population is stabilized. Peru’s poorest women have a fertility rate of nearly three and a half more than wealthier women. These women will have an average of more than 5 births per lifetime, yet only 20% will be attended by professional help.
 * Birth Rate **

There are 5.95 deaths per 1000 population. Peru has a low death rate compared to other non-developed countries. Peru has increased its medical care to poor Peruvians, and this has led to a major fall of the death rate. The government is working on implementing Plant Parenthood Federation of America to expand access health services and information and advocating for policies and laws that protect reproductive rights, mostly to the rural areas.
 * Death Rate **

The net migration rate is -3.03 migrants per 1000 population. People of Peru, like in almost all undeveloped countries, search for better opportunities by migrating to better places. In the case of Peru they migrate to some places of Miami, Santiago and Barcelona.
 * Net Migration Rate **

Peru has an infant mortality rate of 21.5 deaths per 1000 live births. There is a very strict abortion law and many women are forced to seek for unsafe abortions that are unhygienic, leaving them vulnerable to hemorrhaging and infection which can cause them death. Still, Peru has seen an enormous decline on infant mortality rates. Many babies had died because in the rural areas people don’t have access to health care or if not is expensive.
 * Infant Mortality **

Its population growth rate is of 1.016%. Since the needs for the poor Peruvians are getting better, their population is constantly growing because of the improvement on the country and the lowering of death rate and the stabilized birth rate.

<span style="color: #c4121b; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Life expectancy of its population is 72.73. Women have a life expectancy of 74.76 and males have a life expectancy of 70.78. People tend to live until this age in Peru because most of them live in rural areas. This would represent a lack of violence in their little towns and violence has decreased a little bit. Still, many people die because of many diseases and not having a hospital near.

<span style="color: #c4121b; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Doubling Time of Peru is 68.90 years.

<span style="color: #c4121b; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Peru is in stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model; due to the fact that it has improved health care and sanitation issues. Still Peru is divided into social classes. Mostly, the people that receive good medical care and education are the ones that can afford it, even though Peru has improved a lot. <span style="color: #c4121b; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Peru is a Less Economically Developed Country. About half of its citizens are living below the poverty line, and about 20% are being extremely poor. Still, since the 1990 the country of Peru has had an major upgrade.

<span style="color: #c4121b; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">One major issue Peru is facing is Domestic Violence. Peru has one of the highest rates of Domestic Violence in the world. About 25.036 cases of domestic violence have been reported. The World Health Organization Reported that 69% of women had suffered from physical violence’s in their lives.
